SIGNATURE SERVICE INITIATIVE

Beaches Rotaract's Signature Service Initiative represents a sustained commitment to address our community’s greatest needs head-on. Finding solutions for the most complex issues takes time, dedication, fundraising, and volunteer efforts.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Our first focus is Youth Development. In partnership with Read USA, our club hopes to serve every Title 1 Elementary School in Duval County by providing mentoring and over 150,000 new books to over 42,000 underprivileged students, 81 schools, and 5 community centers in 2020 and beyond. 

1 in 4 CHILDREN

live below the poverty line in Duval County, higher than state and national rates

61%

of low income homes have zero (0) books in them. 

TWO THIRDS

of 4th graders that struggle to read will end up in jail or on welfare.

75%

of state prison inmates can be classified as low literate.

Make a difference

Our goal is to empower the leaders of tomorrow. We envision a future in which thousands of lives will be positively impacted by our Signature Service Initiative. Help us make a difference by getting involved today!
